Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Holmbury St Mary
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Holmbury St Mary start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Holmbury St Mary often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Your questions answered
Is Holmbury St Mary off your patch?
Not at all. Holmbury St Mary is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on a block within reach of Gomshall station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

What we’re called out for in Holmbury St Mary
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
With historic buildings such as Polesden Lacey (to the north of Holmbury St Mary) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Holmbury St Mary should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Converted and older buildings near places like Holmbury St Mary tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why appoint us
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- CHAS accredited
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

How the quote is worked out

- How accessible the joints are
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:

- Specification clauses that apply
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Holmbury St Mary need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
